الشخصيات المرجعية في رواية حوبة و رحلة البحث عن المهدي المنتظر

Abstract EN

The narrative text is based on a series of elements, that contribute to a great extent to its process and completeness, such as time, place and character, the latter is an essential element of the narrative text, and has become a center for attention of many literary studies and modern critics, such as the modern semiotic theories, that have treated this narrative component and analyzed it.

That's why we thought our study should focus on one of Azzeddine Jalawaji's (Houba wa rihlet el bahth ani Al Mahdi Al montadhar) novels, a novel with many characters, that brought history of Greater Algeria during French colonialism.

To be characters with multiple references, the author wanted to send us the story with all its coordinates.

The novel is a great historical epic intertwined with history and imagination in which the novelist has worked on the convergence of the historical reference with the narrative imaginary to give it an innovative character.

So the research problem is as follows: What is the character? How did modern studies approach it? And how can we study the characters in (Houba warihlet el bahth ani El Mahdi Almontadhar), according to Philippe Hammon.
